Rishi Sunak pledges to cut taxes for business to tackle cost of living crisis

Rishi Sunak has called on businesses to boost investment, training and innovation in order to grow the economy and help ease the cost of living crisis - vowing to cut taxes for business in his autumn budget in return.

Speaking to business leaders at the CBI dinner, the chancellor said the three-point plan is a 'path to higher productivity, higher living standards and a more prosperous and secure future'. He also warned the next few months 'will be tough' after it was revealed inflation hit a 40-year high of 9%

the problem is wealth inequality and your solution is to give the biggest boost to the wealthiest people. we are doomed.

[toi_techno]

lol, business owners are definitely the people who need help

[Gringos]

"yeah families dont matter its the businesses we care more about" is what hes actually saying

[bricktop.]

How about tax cuts for normal working people instead mate? I lose £600 a month on tax and NI. How about WE get some help instead?

[callumforster]

It's not that people are unemployed (as borris is repeatedly happy to state) unemployment has gone down. Its that people can be working multiple jobs, or longer hours and still not afford to eat three meals a day. These tax cuts seem to be backing up the idea that people who are struggling should "get better jobs" (as one conservotive minister put it) when in reality, people are working hard (harder than the chancellor it would seem) and are still getting the worce end of this crisis. If Sunak wants to take this with a "collective effort" tax the richest people and businesses, and the oil companies that are makeing billions in unexpected profits.

[Sam-Cain]

... WHAT?! How does this help ordinary people in ANY WAY?! The cost of living doesn't effect business, they aren't alive ffs!

[KieranDevvs]

Why not cut the VAT like you said you were going to do when we left the EU?

[cbwavy]

Trickle Down Economics doesn't work.

[dragonofhatefulretribution]

British collective: “How does this help the common Brit?”

Rishi Sunak: “Common? Brit?”
*laughs in shaboos*

[ste]

[martinwyke]

No shame in putting profits before the people.

[bertrach]

He's just laughing at us now, people.

[Dominaion]

I was wondering when this would happen. They are a parody of themselves.
